(UPDATE: Due to scheduling conflicts, we are rescheduling the Office of Minority & Women Business Enterprises (OMWBE) workshop that was scheduled for next week, to later this year in March. The OMWBE workshop will be included in a larger, more comprehensive event, an all-day Women’s Business Expo.)
The Office of Minority and Women Business Enterprises (OMWBE), in partnership with the San Juan County Economic Development Council will offer their OMWBE Certification Workshop on Wednesday, January 14, from 9 a.m. until noon at the San Juan Island Library, and videoconferenced at both the Lopez Library and the Orcas Island Library.
The OMWBE Certification Workshop is a course where attendees can learn about state and federal certifications for lucrative government contracting. Attendees will learn who is eligible for the program, and they will receive valuable assistance with the application process. In addition, benefits of certification will be highlighted, which include free advertising through the OMWBE website, a free subscription to the Daily Journal of Commerce, and loan assistance for those who are state certified through the Linked Deposit program.
Details: Wednesday, January 14, from 9 a.m. until noon at the San Juan Island Library, and videoconferenced at the Lopez Library and the Orcas Island Library. Advance registration is required; please call 360-378-2906 to reserve your space, or email: info@sanjuansedc.org.
